Degree of Green™ System
Rates Green Home Building Products

A new system is now available for retailers to help consumers and contractors determine whether home building and improvement products meet their criteria for being "green," healthy and sustainable.

“The Degree of Green™ system allows homeowners and contractors to make educated and immediate decisions regarding the green and health qualities of products they purchase for home building or improvement projects,” said Andrew Pace, owner of Safe Building Solutions in suburban Milwaukee and creator of the Degree of Green™ rating system.

Pace, who has provided green and healthy home building products and consultation for more than 10 years, created the Degree of Green™ rating system in response to the tremendous increase in demand for such products and a corresponding desire by consumers and contractors to know just how “green,” sustainable and healthy those products really are.

The Degree of Green™ rating panel includes Pace, Lyn Falk, a nationally recognized green home products expert, award winning interior designer, and producer of Healthy Style, distributed nationally by American Public Television, and Michael Fallarino, a builder, journalist and broadcaster, holistic counselor, and interdisciplinary writer and consultant in New York State.

The system includes a full package of communications and marketing support materials for retailers, and a website, www.degreeofgreen.com.
